Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Shimmer and Shine Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week we are challenging you to add metal to your project. This can either be a metal charm, element, string or metallic embossing etc.
It is Carol’s last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your fabulous creations over the past few weeks! It has been a great pleasure having you along with us!

This week I went back to the Halloween theme and chose a metallized background for a splatter card! I'm a big fan of Tarantino and one of my favorite series of all time is Dexter ... now you can understand!
For the base of the card I used some scraps of Ranger Foil Tape sheets, I cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Claw Marks and I painted my base with Black soot Distress Paint and Black Soot and Hickory smoke Distress crayons.

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Thank you for joining us for the Stars Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week we are challenging you to add shimmer and/or shine to your project:
Shimmer and Shine is our theme!
I remind you that the annual event STAMPtember is ongoing and every day you will find news, surprises, inspirations!
This is the third week for our Designer Spotlight, Carol Harper aka Carol Stamps, here you can see her wonderful Blog!

In the card everything shines !!! On the little branches I used Stickles copper, Deco sheet Gold to create the edge ( I'm not sure that edge is the right word!) and for the stencil I explain it .... below!!!

For the stencil I used Texture Paste transparent gloss and above I sprinkled with a mix of Distress Glitter, Pumice Stone and Antique Linen. Sometimes I find products that I have not used for a long time, Distress Glitter is one of these. Especially they are beautiful because they give a "soft", not excessive, brilliance.
